Kinda. The vast majority of c++ I encounter is simple orthodox c++. No one I know cares about new features in c++ and bemoans having to ever write a template. No one really cares about bulletproofing types, ie: copy/move constructors and all that stuff. I'm sure it's different at big companies but the vast vast majority of c++ is just simple procedural code. | |||||||||||||||||

> the vast vast majority of c++ is just simple procedural code. Probably because where C++ is needlessly complex, C is beautifully simple. I've used both C and C++ in my career, spending 10+ years as a C programmer (kernels, applications and embedded stuff), as well as 4-5 years as a C++ programmer in a financial institution. I find the thing most "new C/C++ programmers" complain about is memory management and type safety, but honestly, once you have a few years worth of experience, memory management is almost second nature. Most of the time i write the free() statement at the same time as i write the malloc() statement (if applicable). | |||||||||||||||||
